He made a wise choice because he nearly was captured from behind. Shilo scores the team’s first touchdown since joining the Buffaloes. When Deion was appointed the team’s head coach at the conclusion of the 2022 season, he and his brother Shedeur moved to Colorado.
With the way Colorado responded to comments made by Colorado State coach Jay Norvell earlier in the week about how his squad was sick of the hype surrounding the Buffaloes, the game between the Rams and the Buffaloes became must-see television.
